Ant-Man Review: never underestimate an ant

A superhero who is an ant? It seems crazy, but here we have Spiderman, who is half spider, and Chapulín Colorado, which is a more typical cricket. Ants are able to lift 50 times their own weight and are very good teamwork. There's the grace of Ant-Man!

Starring Paul Rudd sympathetic -the new beau recruited by Marvel, Ant-Man has proved to be a surprise in comic book movies for its comic tone and relaxed, much more than that, for example, allows his colleague Iron Man. When a fight scene in a girl's room reminds us more of Toy Story that The Avengers , that realizes the self-confidence of this film. It's not just a matter of effects that Ant-Man captivates the senses. From Honey I Shrunk the Kids (1989) did not see such tiny knack for recreating environments. Not to mention subatomic scenarios because it gets psychedelic. Who has not imagined what may be smaller than an atom?

Paul Rudd is Scott Lang and Michael Douglas is Dr. Hank Pym.

Let's talk about the plot. It is perhaps the weakest because it is more than what is already known; difficult to deviate from the formula of superhero movies that does not abandon the basic ingredients: the anonymous subject and loser in life that ends up taking on the challenge of superhero scientist spotless and full of secrets moral (played by a formidable Michael Douglas) , a suit like invincible weapon, the villain who wants to seize it, the ghost of orphanhood, revenge with the children ... And it is impossible to avoid the racist clichés. I mean Latinos who speak up a storm (as Sofia Vergara Modern Family ) and believe in all kinds of superstitions. But Ant-Man is great fun and the cast, compelling, starting with the always beautiful Evangeline Lilly in a character that seduces and promises much in subsequent deliveries because many will come, let there be no doubt. This bug Ant-Man has gotten away with it and hopefully get the place it deserves within the horde of superheroes that increasingly invades big screen. However, an ant fits anywhere.
